Hello Red Team!
My name is Mel & I'm the Red Team leader.
I have been participating in these challenges since 2009, when I started my lifestyle change.
A little about myself: I'm 44. Have 3 kids (2 girls- ages 11 & 7, and a boy aged 9, soon to be 10). I'm an admin assistant , official title, but more like an office administrator, and pretty much do everything under the sun.
I've done the couch to 5 k program and I am an on again off again runner. I ran my first 10k this past October.
I'm not a huge goal setter, which is part of my problem, but I've really slacked off on exercise, so I need to start exercising again, so the scale will move in a downward direction.
We have a LOT of new faces around this time. Please introduce yourself.
Each week there will be a new chat thread, exercise thread & nutrition thread. You can participate as much or as little as you like, but you must post at least once per week on the chat thread to be considered the biggest loser that week. Weight loss is calculated by % of body weight lost (# of pounds lost/weight)*100
I look forward to getting to know everyone. Let's go Red Team!
